A vet probably has better things to do than to help me figure out why it keeps meowing even though its got its food (even bothered upgrading from dry to wet food 'cause I thought tha was the problem) and I'm right there for her.

I'm sure a vet, like any other kind of doctor, is perfectly willing to help with any problem whatsoever, so long as you're not interrupting something urgent. Best thing to do is just a simple walk in and maybe talk to the receptionist who would also very likely have experience with animals.

And if you want the advice of some random jackass on the internet, it could be just a vocal cat, my cat meows ALL the damn time, for attention, food, wants to go out, wants me to follow her... Also, how recently adopted? If fairly recently, it could be a normal behavior during it's process of getting used to it's new territory. When I was sitting my brother's cat for half a month he would meow at the top of the stairs at night, then he stopped when he became used to our house.

you could ask me if you like I work at a pet shop and study animal welfare..

to care for a snake you will need a heat source (what kind differs from one species to the next), a heat gradient in the tank to allow it to thermo-regulate, water, a hide, something to climb on, and food. Food is usually mice or rats, you buy them frozen in varying different sizes. The width of the mouse/rat should be no more than about one and a half times the width of your snakes head. Defrost thoroughly. Cleaning doesn't take much time, they poop and pee at the same time and they only do it about once a week, seeing as you only feed them once a week. Feed them outside the tank as feeding inside it can make them a bit strike happy, equating your hand coming into the tank with prey, making it more likely you will get bit. You can handle them daily but avoid it when they've just eaten or when they're shedding. A nice damp moss box inside the tank increases humidity and helps with shedding. Aspen is the most common substrate as it allows for burrowing and is easy cleaned, but you can also use woodchip or paper towels when they're young.

Spent little over an hour with her and tried petting her in odd places such as her legs & belly.
She'd attack my hand in a playfull way (I'm guessing) when I touch her belly (on which is the scar from her sterilization surgery) which I assume is normal for a cat, especially a female one.

I don't think she's hurt, but I feel as if she feels lonely or just misses her kind. I don't know how I can prevent that.
